What is Off-Screen Hours?
Shorter days, colder nights... we find ourselves doom-scrolling, stuck in feeds fuelling anxiety and lower moods. Off-Screen Hours is a drop-in art therapy and journaling workshop in Vancouver that helps us resist digital overwhelm and disrupt the cycles of capitalism that wear us down.
Together, we will rest, heal through art, and connect with community, just as you are.
